Why James Smith

A Farmer Who Will Fight for Your Water Rights

I've been a farmer my whole life — raising cattle and caring for the land that supports them. I know firsthand what it means to depend on reliable, affordable water. Without it, everything we've built on this land is at risk.

Ratepayers in NID Division 2 deserve a board member who will stand up for them — not rubber-stamp rate increases or let treated and raw water decisions get made behind closed doors. I will be that voice. Accountable to you, not to the bureaucracy.
